1993 QP
     E. F. Helin, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, reports her discovery
with K. Lawrence of a fast-moving asteroidal object on films taken
with the 0.46-m Palomar Schmidt by Helin, Lawrence, and J. Alu.
Confirmation was obtained by D. D. Balam and J. B. Tatum using the
0.5-m reflector (+ CCD) at the Climenhaga Observatory.
